I'm coming Mickey!

We're booked! July 18-25 at the Grand Floridian. AAA even found us a direct flight from Manch to Orlando; Total flight time: 3 hours! That means I'll be in Disney about noon! You know how I hate to burn park time. Now comes the planning, meal reservations, and shopping. Even though I'm only there for a month, it's 6 months of dreaming!

Sick, Sick, Sick all the time!



I've been sick over a week now. I honestly hope it's a sinus infection so at least I can treat it. But what else can a teacher expect of a vacation? I did get to go to lunch with my best friends Chantal who I usually only see at Christmas. Twice a year is quite the treat! She was here taking the bar for MA. I hope she passes and moves back, but, as I said to her, I won't get too excited because she never stays in one place for very long. Yet she remains my closest friend, who always knows exactly how I feel and what I'm talking about. She saves me thousands in therapy bills!

FYI, I may lose my job yet again this year. I teach because..... If anyone hears of a teaching job let me know! Thanks.

Here's my latest layout. It's becoming easier and easier to scrapbook digitally. I don't have to order special size photos or print out my journaling and then put it on my page. I can also change the color of my papers and embellishment. I don't see myself going back to tradition paper.

computer killed the tradition scrapbooking star

Well, I have finished more layouts in the past 2 month digitally than I did all last year. So I think it's safe to say there's no going back. So I am selling some of my scrapbooking supplies. Now I am not selling everything right away (I'm not insane), but the things I don't think I'll use or have never used is going. I have listed the first item on e-bay to see how it sells. I will try to do a preview on my blog this week of the rest of the items. If someone wants something, make me an offer. Otherwise it's going on e-bay. Bigger items I'm consider selling is my Wishblade which was the quickcut shiloette. I got a brand new one form the company because the broken one I bought from e-bay didn't work. I think I've used it twice. It may only work with Microsoft no macs just to warn you. If you really want one I could be convinced to sell it since all the money I raise will be for my DISNEY TRIP! Let me know.

Currently on ebay: item 290296788498

Disney News: High school Musical 3 comes out on DVD tomorrow. I, of course, have found the best deal. If you buy HSM3 on DVD or blurray you get a $10 target gift card! I will be getting the $22.99 deluxe edition with digital copy for your computer and ipod, DVD and bonus material.

Kristi Suter, You've sold you car of 9 years. What are you goin to do next?





That's right, I AM GOING TO DISNEY! Okay we're going to Disney. It's my wonderful husband who makes Disney possible. We are not booking until April for July 5-11. Yes it's torture to wait, but at least we are going. I thought that door was slammed once I had to sell Maxi and all extra money would go toward buying a new car, which is true, but if I can stand driving my grandpa's car, whom I've named Ned, for the next six months than we'll have the money to go. If that is the case, than I can drive Ned till the end of time! So, more details to come. Here's a pic from our 2007 trip (I should probably finish scrapbooking that one before I leave for the next trip).

R.I.P. Maxi


Poor Maxi! She's someone else's baby now. She didn't pass inspection because of two senors that were setting off the check engine light even though there was nothing wrong with the engine or anything else. But I just couldn't justify spending $1000 needed to fix her when she's a 1997 and not starting well in the mornings. Luckily my grandpa is nice enough to let me use his car since he is not. When Penny (Rick's car) is paid off he's gonna get a new one and give Penny to me. I'm spoiled, I know. So I am driving the Buick Century which I call either Ned or the 'Old'mobile. However, driving Ned of the next 6 months or so will come with a BIG reward. Stay tuned for that announcement. Farewell Maxi, old friend! You'll be missed.
